Giuseppe VERDI. L.A.S., Sant'Agata di Villanova June 2, 1881, at an "Eccellenza"; 2 and a half pages in-4; in Italian. Nice letter on music education. He has the honour to present the operations made by Mr. Serrao on the regulations for music schools ("Regolamento per le scuole musicale") for the last ten years. As for him, he would not know how to add or change anything to it. It is necessary to put a man of very high value at the head of all music schools ("un' uomo di altissimo valore alla testa di ogni stabilimente musicale"). In the past he gives the examples of Scarlatti, Leo, Durante and others for the Naples Conservatory; of Padre Martini in Bologna, of Cherubini in Paris... He hopes that His Excellency will succeed in making a useful work for Italian art...
